    [description] => 
On this single-centre short break, we’ll explore Morecambe Bay’s mudflats and saltmarshes in search of breeding waders, gulls and wildfowl as well as flower-rich fens, reedbeds and lowland bogs in search of their specialist flora. Encircling the Bay is a band of limestone ‘pavement’ where a variety of orchids and other specialist flora such as Bird’s-eye Primrose, Rigid Buckler Fern and Lancaster Whitebeam can be found. The area is also well known for its butterflies and we will look for Pearl-bordered Fritillary and Northern Brown Argus amongst many other species. We will also explore the area’s woodland and scrub habitats in search of breeding warblers, as well as look for wetland species such as Otter and Bearded Tit. Further inland, on the fells of Swindale in the Lake District, we will focus on looking for the special woodland birds and plants found at Haweswater. Here, as the sun sets, we will enjoy exclusive access to a Badger hide, offering an intimate opportunity to observe these elusive and shy mammals up close as they emerge for their nightly adventures.

From the rolling heaths and woodlands of the New Forest National Park to the extensive wetlands that line the north Norfolk coastline, the varied habitats and landscapes of the British Isles are home to a wealth of exciting wildlife. It is definitely not essential to go abroad when wildlife holidays in Britain offer such diversity!

                    [content] => 
From the shores of Morecambe Bay to the moors of the Lakeland fells, this part of North West England is rich in wildlife and a joy for any visiting naturalist. An estuary of international importance, Morecambe Bay straddles the Lancashire and Cumbria border and is at the heart of this foray into North West England. The area is home to some of the UK’s most special areas, containing two areas of outstanding natural beauty (AONB’s) and the southern tip of the Lake District National Park.
Morecambe Bay’s vast mudflats, saltmarshes and dune systems hold breeding waders, terns, gulls and wildfowl and there is even the chance of a Natterjack Toad or breeding Osprey. These coastal habitats then blend into such diverse wetland habitats as flower-rich fens, reed bed and lowland bogs, where specialist species such as sundews, Bog Rosemary, Raft Spider, White-faced Darter, Tree Pipit and Nightjar may be found.
Encircling the Bay is a band of underlying carboniferous limestone that offers limestone pavement, floristically rich pastures and diverse woodlands. Greater and Lesser Butterfly, Fly, Northern Marsh, Frog, Fragrant, Dark Red Helleborine and the stunning Lady's Slipper Orchids are to be found here alongside other limestone flora such as Bird's-eye Primrose, Rigid Buckler Fern and the local Lancaster Whitebeam. The area is also well known for its butterflies and, weather permitting, we have a good chance of a late Duke of Burgundy, Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary, Northern Brown Argus, Large Heath, Dark Green Fritillary and possibly an early High Brown Fritillary.
Moving a little further inland we encounter the classic mountainous fells of the Eastern Lake District around the RSPB’s Haweswater nature reserve. In the diverse woodlands and scrub a good range of breeding warblers may be found, too, along with local specialties such as Marsh Tit and Hawfinch. The edge of the High Fells is home to important populations of breeding waders, with Snipe, Redshank, Lapwing, Curlew and Oystercatcher abundant in the northern pastures and meadows. In the open country we have a chance of a breeding Merlin, Peregrine and Short-eared Owl.... while, in the wooded Naddle valley at Haweswater, we will look for Red Squirrel, Redstarts, Pied Flycatchers and the occasional Wood Warbler may be found, together with Dipper in the uplands streams. This evening we will take dinner at a nearby pub before a visit to a Badger hide after the sun has set. 
Over the four days we’ll visit some of the key habitats and wildlife reserves that this beautiful area has to offer. We’ll set off at around 9am from the hotel, returning in time for dinner in the evening (with the exception of Day 3). Each day we’ll stop at local pubs or cafes for lunch and comfort breaks, but we’ll keep the exact programme flexible in order to make the best use of our time and the weather. All of the areas that we intend to visit are within easy driving distance of each other and our hotel.

Summary

From the shores of Morecambe Bay to the moors of the Lakeland fells, this part of North West England is rich in wildlife and a joy for any visiting naturalist. An estuary of international importance, Morecambe Bay straddles the Lancashire and Cumbria border and is at the heart of this foray into North West England. The area is home to some of the UK’s most special areas, containing two areas of outstanding natural beauty (AONB’s) and the southern tip of the Lake District National Park.

Morecambe Bay’s vast mudflats, saltmarshes and dune systems hold breeding waders, terns, gulls and wildfowl and there is even the chance of a Natterjack Toad or breeding Osprey. These coastal habitats then blend into such diverse wetland habitats as flower-rich fens, reed bed and lowland bogs, where specialist species such as sundews, Bog Rosemary, Raft Spider, White-faced Darter, Tree Pipit and Nightjar may be found.

Encircling the Bay is a band of underlying carboniferous limestone that offers limestone pavement, floristically rich pastures and diverse woodlands. Greater and Lesser Butterfly, Fly, Northern Marsh, Frog, Fragrant, Dark Red Helleborine and the stunning Lady's Slipper Orchids are to be found here alongside other limestone flora such as Bird's-eye Primrose, Rigid Buckler Fern and the local Lancaster Whitebeam. The area is also well known for its butterflies and, weather permitting, we have a good chance of a late Duke of Burgundy, Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary, Northern Brown Argus, Large Heath, Dark Green Fritillary and possibly an early High Brown Fritillary.

Moving a little further inland we encounter the classic mountainous fells of the Eastern Lake District around the RSPB’s Haweswater nature reserve. In the diverse woodlands and scrub a good range of breeding warblers may be found, too, along with local specialties such as Marsh Tit and Hawfinch. The edge of the High Fells is home to important populations of breeding waders, with Snipe, Redshank, Lapwing, Curlew and Oystercatcher abundant in the northern pastures and meadows. In the open country we have a chance of a breeding Merlin, Peregrine and Short-eared Owl.... while, in the wooded Naddle valley at Haweswater, we will look for Red Squirrel, Redstarts, Pied Flycatchers and the occasional Wood Warbler may be found, together with Dipper in the uplands streams. This evening we will take dinner at a nearby pub before a visit to a Badger hide after the sun has set. 

Over the four days we’ll visit some of the key habitats and wildlife reserves that this beautiful area has to offer. We’ll set off at around 9am from the hotel, returning in time for dinner in the evening (with the exception of Day 3). Each day we’ll stop at local pubs or cafes for lunch and comfort breaks, but we’ll keep the exact programme flexible in order to make the best use of our time and the weather. All of the areas that we intend to visit are within easy driving distance of each other and our hotel.

If anything, you undersold the range of things we saw and experienced! Excellent local knowledge and wide experience of fauna, flora, landscape etc was very impressive. I learned a lot. The accommodation was fine for what we needed but very glad we ate out on badger night at the superb Haweswater Hotel. Caroline was very friendly and professional- a great balance. It is hard to choose a highlight. The Badgers were amazing but the limestone pavement habitat was a revelation.

Very knowledgeable leader, always friendly and available. Caroline was able to flex the places visited to suit weather conditions and the needs of the group members. Really interesting walks looking at different terrains and landscapes and flora and fauna that inhabit them. Left me wanting to visit again! Seeing flycatchers feeding babies in natural nests was a highlight: avocets with young, many birds I’d never been able to see before, red squirrels, and badgers. Learned a lot about plants and butterflies/moths other insects of acid and alkaline environments. Caroline would make an excellent teacher as she explains and repeats in other places, which really helps!
